What is our data destruction process?

Using industry standard software, human-I-T completely wipes data and issues a Certificate of Data Destruction with every donation.

Through a NIST 800-88 method, random data is written through the entirety of the drive, destroying any recoverable data on the drive. The drive is then re-scanned to provide verification that all data has been destroyed.

The drive is erased to (NIST 800-88 4 and 800-14) specification. Data destruction software wiping methods are compliant with the following international standards/laws:

HIPAA
US Department of Defense 5220.22 M
US Army AR380-19
US Air Force 502
German VIST
Russian GOST p50739-9
Canadian OPS-II
HMG IS5 Baseline/Enhanced
Navso P-5329-26
NCSC-TG-025 & NSA 130-2
NIST 800-88

If your company policy is to keep your hard drives, human-I-T can still put all your technology to good use even if it’s missing components or needing repair.

What pickup or shipping options do we offer?
